To find out how much Tina earns cutting lawns, we first need to calculate how much she earned from babysitting.

1. Calculate her babysitting earnings:

[

text{Babysitting Earnings} = text{Hours Babysitting} times text{Pay per Hour} = 5 text{ hours} times 8.25 text{ dollars/hour} = 41.25 text{ dollars}

]

2. Now, subtract her babysitting earnings from her total earnings to find out how much she earned cutting lawns:

[

text{Total Earnings} = 92 text{ dollars}

]

[

text{Cutting Lawns Earnings} = text{Total Earnings} – text{Babysitting Earnings} = 92 text{ dollars} – 41.25 text{ dollars} = 50.75 text{ dollars}

]

Thus, Tina earns $50.75 cutting lawns.
